Apart from the city of Christchurch, New Zealand's South Island is sparsely populated. Instead, subtropical bays and beaches in the North contrast with glacierized mountain ranges and deeply incised fjords in the south whilst drylands in the east give way to rainforests in the west of this extremely diverse island.
